With nearly 300 guests in attendance, we raised over $130,000 and celebrated the successes and accomplishments of Nobis Works program participants and community partners at the 2017 Galaxy of Stars Luncheon.

Nobis Works has been impacting the lives of individuals with disabilities for the past 40 years. To help fulfill our mission of empowering people through employment, we host an annual Galaxy of Stars Luncheon. Contributions towards this year’s event will go on to support our ongoing efforts to provide job training and employment services to individuals with disabilities. The goal of this event is to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of individuals who have overcome barriers on their path to career success as well as our community partners who have helped them on their journey to independence.

This year’s event was a major success! Featured emcee Anthony Amey came together with nearly 300 guests to the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel Conference Center to recognize the impact that Nobis Works’ programs and partnerships have had on the lives of people with disabilities.

This year’s emcee was WSB-TV’s popular Sports Anchor, Anthony Amey.
